A few months ago I reread Simon Peyton Joneses article on STM in the Beautiful Code book and decided to try and translate it into clojures STM
See the paper here http://research.microsoft.com/pubs/74063/beautiful.pdf He says 'Atomic blocks as we have introduced them so far are utterly inadequate to coordinate concurrent programs. They lack two key facilities: blocking and choice' so I guess the implication is Clojures STM is inferior, any thoughts? I had to use a constraint on a ref and try/catch to get the same effect (though I hate using exceptions for control flow it does seem to work) https://github.com/thattommyhall/santa-claus/blob/master/src/santa/core.clj I think a better solution might be had using watchers, how would you do it? Any good links explaining differences in the STMs? Cheers, Tom -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
